I haven't really been taking 2 days off ever and just go every other day. I think not squating/DLing is that much easier on the CNS, that I don't need to. I have 2 lifting more days, then I'll take a few off.

Had PT today. They said the structure of my knee should be fine, but want to focus on glute activation. This is different from the last time I had PT, where they focused more on breaking up scar tissue around the knee and strengthening the hips. These folks are also saying to meet every 7-10 days, while the others were 2-3x/week.

They also noticed my left hip is a lot weaker than my right, which correlates w/ my right thigh being slightly larger, I guess. So, that seems like something major enough to address. For now though, they just gave me a bunch of glute exercises to establish better mind/muscle connection, and expect me to respond quickly. They gave me the greenlight to do whatever in the gym as long as it doesn't hurt; I thought I'd be able to DL today, by the hip pain isn't encouraging.
